Drybags – Zpacks Cubin Fibre size Medium

Rating: 10/10

Weight: 26g

Description: These stuff sacks are sewn “envelope” style with a taped seam down the side and across the bottom. The top of the bags roll down and clip together to keep out water. The roll top can also be used to compress the contents. Constructed from black 1.0 oz/sqyd Cuben Fiber material. By comparison our regular stuff sacks are made from thinner .51 oz/sqyd material. Fully taped / waterproof seams. The top of the bags seal with stiff velcro to make closing and rolling the top easy.  Flat Dimensions: 10.5″ wide x 19″ tall (26.5 cm x 48 cm). Full Dimensions: roughly 6″ diameter by 12″ tall (15 cm x 30.5 cm). 340 cubic inches / 5.6 Liters.

Comments: These dry bags were fantastic and showed no sign of wear despite being opened and closed every day. I used one for my sleeping bag and one for my clothes. I loved the Velcro closure as this made rolling them much easier than previous roll bags I have used where I had to concentrate to make sure the top was lined up before rolling. I didn’t test the waterproofness while on the trail as my pack didn’t leak but pre trail I did some vigorous testing in tubs of water and they were waterproof.

Dec 2017. The bags are still waterproof.
